Arlene Wohlgemuth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arlene Wohlgemuth, U.S. politician, was the Republican nominee for the 17th Congressional District of Texas in 2004. She lost 51% to 48% to Chet Edwards.

Wohlgemuth served as a Representative from District 58 in the Texas House of Representatives in the Seventy-fourth through Seventy-eighth Texas Legislatures representing Bosque and Johnson counties in north central Texas. She gained some attention in state politics in 1997 for what became known as the "Memorial Day Massacre" when a procedural motion she proposed in the Texas House of Representatives lead to 52 proposed bills falling on technical grounds after opposition legislators had used a similar procedure to prevent a vote being held on a proposal supported by Wohlgemuth requiring parental notification if a minor has an abortion.
